The Iceman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Salt trucks out in full force this morning for what should be 99% rain here. Guessing the municipalities and pendot are itching to use some of their excess stock from the last 2+ years… what a waste though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing the municipalities and pendot are itching to use some of their excess stock from the last 2+ years… what a waste though. Tricky situation, though. Rain washes away the salt, but if the ground remains cold enough, the rain freezes on the surface. So it's a question of when, where, how much to put down. Some places are predicting small drops in temperature to 31, 32, 33 overnight which could make some roads treacherous tomorrow morning. These types of storms (snow to mix to rain to mix to rain to snow) are a challenge not only for forecasters but for road crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have a WWA. It’s going to be above freezing when precip starts and won’t fall below freezing until Sunday night. Complete waste of money and resources in the 95 area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Went from giant, lazy flakes to powder for a little bit and is now back to medium-sized flakes. It's sticking to grass, mulch and pavement. Looks real pretty! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Snow has a sleety, graupely consistency to it. Quick, someone slip Redsky a Mickey so we stay snow as long as possible! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My air temp is at 33 but the surface temp is lower. The snow, though very light, is beginning to accumulate on parts of the street and driveway. So the surface isn't warm enough to melt it. If it changes to rain before the surface warms there will be ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Have been getting variable rates/flake sizes but it's now starting to stick to the grass and mulched surfaces. Still holding at 33 with dp now 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 I'm in Telford at work. Light snow 31F. Driving back to Warminster at 7 should be fun. Looking at radar there is an axis of heavier convective stuff in N montco and N Bucks in hill country. Those areas will hang on alot longer to frozen imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
